Featured Touring 1st Annual? Scotland Road Trip 13th-18th May 2018

Ah, I can just see it in my minds eye now, casting its glow over the A127 from Basildon to Southend.

 

Yes ok, the weather was really shite today

 

Flying to Jeneau, doing an 'uncruise' then 2 days Seattle, 4 days Vancouver, then a weeks drive through the Rockies to Calgary, then home. V Exited

Looks like an awesome trip being put together guys, I wish I could get away from work, your route looks fantastic. Sure you will all have a great time. (It is well known the weather is always dry in May too ).

 

Have done this part of Scotland twelve times and always in May
It only rained on two of them
But when it rains there it FECKIN RAINS

 

I'll come prepared.......

 

Wife and I did the Banff /Jasper trip a few years ago....absolutely stunning. Especially up at Lake Louise also the Athabasca Glacier..........take the binoculars...........

 

Shit just realised it’s my niece’s wedding on Sat 19th, which puts a bit of a spanner in the works! Damn damn damn.

I’d have to cut short on the Weds I guess. Where would that be?

 

i would love to join you guys on this trip, however with this devilish cancer nightmare hanging over our heads (my partner not me), I just can't commit to anything at the moment. Even the GMU and the foreign trip are at risk.

 

that's a bummer figwold,on the Wednesday morning we will be leaving Skye and heading up to Applecross then around the coast to Ullapool,If you left from Skye you would take the A87 to Invergarry then down the A82 to Spean bridge where you would take the A86 to Dalwhinnie and join the A9 to head south..you would be about 550 miles to bedford.......If you left on the Thursday morning from Ullapool and took the A835 towards Inverness then straight down the A9 you would be 565 miles to Bedford..if you did this and stayed overnight somewhere you should get home friday afternoon?

 

Sorry to hear that Nikki,hope it all works out well for you both

 

Sad, sad, sad. I hope things turn out well.

 

thanks guys. I don't want to high jack this thread so I'll create a new one if I have to start cancelling trips.
Suffice to say this has been a god awful last 18 months or so.

 

Sorry to hear that.

 

Thanks Dougie

I think leaving Thurs morning sounds like a plan.

 

Sorry to hear this Nikki
Hope your partners soon on the mend

 

Won't have the pleasure of your company on the way home then

Never mind Ken, I’m sure Rich will make enough noise for the both of us!
